   No current Talk conversations about this book.  lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 |   I thought this was such a fun read. I loved reading all these stories following the presents characters. They were all super fun and short stories. I thought some of them could have used a bit more basic info i felt a tad lost not having been caught up on the current books. I also really am now more motivated to actually catch up. I also just thought the stories were fun and dived into smaller assets of mythology . I also really liked learning about Irsh mythology. (  ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 | Calamity Juice-2 stars-Just not into it. As soon as they mentioned clones my brain checked out. Beware the Grove of True Love-2 stars-The kids were annoying and I didn't care. The Cave of Doom-5 stars-Amazing. Loved it. It was compelling and I added the first novel to my TBR. The Initiation-2 stars-Dumb. If space travel and colonizing other worlds has been achieved, why would you build a training facility on a gas giant? Or rather, in a gas giant's orbit? Like, wasn't there a solid planet somewhere that could be used? The Gum Baby Files-5 stars-I love Gum Baby!
